King Solomon, an incredibly wise person, once said, “Above all else, guard your hearts, for it is the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:23
Paul, a passionate follower of Jesus Christ said, “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8
And Jesus Christ said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, MIND, and strength.” Mark 12:30
Everything our kids take in through video games, cell phones, computers, iPods, iPads, tablets, the TV and more DOES impact who they are and who they will become. The media has a huge influence in our kids lives (and ours too!), in a way that builds up faith in Jesus Christ, or one that tears down. I believe Jesus would echo the phrase “Garbage in… Garbage out!”
So, guarding the hearts and minds of our children, and each of us as well, is a part of our responsibility as followers of Jesus Christ. Here’s the truth: God knows us better than anyone in the entire universe, He loves us more than anyone in the entire universe, so we can TRUST Him to know what is genuinely best for us… and our children.
